Laying in the snow shooting across the ice at a 12" square target.
Wind was .8 mils about 3 1/2 mph
Elevation 5.7 mils
Not the best place to lay prone at the edge of the lake in the cold so the groups were about 1-1/2 MOA
Life is good.

Might be heading out again this weekend. Any distance shooters interested?

I wouldn't mind confirming drop and doing a group check for my 7RM. PM Sent.

Ducks, Turkey, Deer as well..... who ever gets in the way of my target takes one for the team.
PM'd ya Z. BTW do you have a Kestrel? I didn't account for wind on my first shot since no foliage made me think 2-3 mph.

Sorry, no Kestrel. Keep waiting for a Midwayusa closeout sale.

Normally drag along spotting scope, range finder, GPS with barometric altimeter, and IPSC size AR500 plate rack with additional 9" and 6" plates.

Hi, do you still go to this location? It looks great, would love to shoot there sometime soon, very soon - before it gets really cold. Is this on private property, USFS land, or what?

Blowby

It's private and water skiers get in the way during the summer months.

In that case, I hope you extend another invitation after water skiing season. I've shot the "precision tactical" match at CRC a bunch of times, so i have good dope for up to 550 yards. Now I'd like to get some cold weather, higher altitude dope for a few rifles. Looks like a stunningly beautiful place to shoot!

Jim, I just left you a VM. Let's schedule some LD time in the next few days for you, me, and Blowby. I'll bring some sandwiches.

Yeah , unfortunately brass is a vegan.

Beef eats grass, so do vegans eat vegans?

Brass

I'm not a strict vegan - I eat meat much of the time.
